Vignesparse ('scattered vines') is Cantina del Glicine's Barbaresco blended from several different plots within the Neive commune, rather than a single cru. It is generally the more structured and spiced of the estate's two main Barbaresco bottlings, made with traditional long maceration and aging in large Slavonian oak casks, giving it classic firm tannins and a long aging trajectory.
The more powerful, spice-driven of Glicine's two flagship Barbarescos — built for long cellaring.
